2026 Vols Transfer Portal Thread

Lol. Fair. To be clear, I’m very happy with how the off-season has gone so far. We just need to shore up the bench and we’ll be 👌🏻

After this season of freshmen production I am pretty confident we see the incoming guys contribute 3 of them are top 100 guys, 2 top 50 players & great length.

I don’t think roster is done though. Something tells me the bigger gets are yet to come.
 
If Duke lands Blackwell and Christian Anderson indeed enters the portal, would think we’re a player
Quote from Hill - “And just having that opportunity of me being that starting point guard in the SEC”

Wonder how that would go over with him if he was relegated to the bench or starting 2 guard at best.

Same way I feel. Juke or Christian Anderson (or both) 🤞🏼 and a big man. I feel like if we do that we have enough quality depth to make a run
 
So does trolling. You end up on lots of Ignore lists.
Great. Add me to yours. It’s not trolling. I’m a huge supporter and fan of Rick. I want him to win it all. I’m just being candid about his areas of concern. To deny those is the epitome of orange colored glasses. He’s gone strong on offensive players . How is that going to translate to his offense, and more important, his coaching style?? We all know how he runs a practice.

Based on last year’s stats, If you saw Cam Carr in the portal to UT, and he’d never played here, you’d be creaming yourself with excitement. We saw how that worked out. There’s a lot more to building a roster than just talent. You have essentially a total rebuild with one player from last years roster.
 
I will say with how much Hill has talked about being the starting PG for us in all of his post-visit and commitment quotes, I’m wondering if we really are going to bring in another guy at that spot now…


Huge pick up, I think him saying as pg looks a lot better with multiple ball handlers including needing to pick up Juke.

Excuse me sir, this is a family show
 
Dang it. Did not now he is a troll. My bad.
Don’t listen to that BS. I’m 100% pulling for Barnes. You have a group here that can’t handle candor and facts. Nothing I’ve said is vitriolic or personal. Barnes is literally changing his recruiting profile before our eyes and everyone tries to spin that Rick didn’t suddenly see the light at 71.

The classic back pedal
 
Then pitch me because I’m going to list the last 3 sec portal players of the year and with JG drafted, all 3 drafted in the NBA and weren’t draft picks prior to UT, then rest my case.
That’s not a case I’m arguing against. Although I’d argue that JG isn’t getting drafted. Love the kid, but don’t see that. Barnes has hit gold with a single transfer player in three straight years. As we’ve seen, it takes more to get over that next rung. I’d be willing to bet this year’s class will be collectively more productive.
